Chapter 427 Xiaoli, come on!
"Are you Mr. Ning Xiangtian, Mr. Ning?"
Actually, when saying this, Shen Li already had the answer in her heart. Ning Xi's surname is Ning, plus the news she saw abroad, the person before her was definitely Ning Xiangtian without a doubt.
And Ning Xi is…
The richest man's daughter!
This time, Shen Li finally understood why, when Ning Xi said she wanted to give her a set of IK custom-made flowing immortal dress outside the airport earlier, she could be so casual and natural.
Is this her competitor?
Really… so powerful!
Hearing the inquiry, Ning Xiangtian, who was cutting steak, nodded noncommittally, "It's me. You are Xiao Fan's friend, you can just call me Uncle."
Hearing the two words 'Xiao Fan', Ye Fan felt very awkward in his heart. Ning Xiangtian rarely addressed him this way. Clearly, this time it was intentional, its purpose naturally to help his daughter build up her prestige.
Shen Li responded politely, suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart, lowered her head to eat with a heavy heart, the top-grade steak tasteless.
After finishing the meal, Ning Xi pulled Shen Li to the bedroom, while Ye Fan and Ning Xiangtian sat in the living room chatting idly.
Looking at the retreating figures of the two girls going upstairs, Ye Fan actually found it surprisingly harmonious.
The pink bedroom gave a warm atmosphere, filled everywhere with plush dolls, adding a few touches of cute color.
"This is my bedroom. Xiao Li, you sleep with me during this period."
Ning Xi pressed Shen Li down to sit on the edge of the bed, said with a beaming smile: "If you need anything, just tell me directly."
Facing Ning Xi's enthusiasm, Shen Li's reaction was very plain, said with a blank expression: "Who said I want to stay at your house? I'll leave later. Before coming, I already booked a hotel."
"Stay in a hotel?"
Ning Xi froze, her pretty face full of incomprehension, "Why?"
"If you don't want to live with me, there are still many rooms in the house, why go out to stay? Besides, you're a girl, staying in a hotel isn't safe, better stay at home."
"No need for you to act like a goody-goody !"
Shen Li said with a cold face, "Please clarify our relationship. We two are love rivals. I want to compete with you for Brother Ye. Are you stupid? Why are you being so nice to me?"
"You are Gege's younger sister, which means you are also my younger sister. Of course, I have to be nice to you."
Ning Xi's eyes were pure, as crystal clear as crystal, completely without any emotion, her tone extremely sincere.
Facing Ning Xi's logic, Shen Li was speechless, yet her mood was quite complex.
She could naturally feel Ning Xi's enthusiasm, but reason told her she couldn't accept all this.
After all, taking from others puts one at a disadvantage, eating others' food makes one speak softly .
If she accepted Ning Xi's help at this moment, then how could she compete with Ning Xi for Ye Fan in the future?
"I am Brother Ye's younger sister, that's correct, but it has… nothing to do with you."
Shen Li stood up and walked towards the door, saying as she walked: "Don't think this way you can make me give up Brother Ye. I admit, you are indeed more outstanding than me, better than me in every aspect, but I will still compete with you!"
"I've liked Brother Ye for so many years, on what grounds do you come from behind and take the lead ?"
Speaking to here, Shen Li just happened to reach the bedroom door, turned her head and glanced at Ning Xi, her face showing determination: "You better be careful. If Brother Ye changes his mind and falls for me, don't you dare think of dying then !"
"Puchi——"
Ning Xi covered her mouth and laughed.
The soft, sweet laughter sounded so harsh in Shen Li's ears. She glared at Ning Xi, embarrassed and angry, questioned: "What are you laughing at? Is it very funny?"
"No."
Regarding Shen Li's attitude, Ning Xi didn't take it to heart. Her eyes curved, her small hand waved lightly in the air, "Xiao Li, keep up the good work!"
Shen Li: "…"
At this moment, she only felt a hot current rushing straight to her head.
The more Ning Xi was like this, the angrier she became. While angry, she was also quite frustrated, as if a fist had hit cotton, that kind of feeling...
"Pa!" a sound, the room door closed.
Shen Li went downstairs and came to the living room.
Seeing Shen Li, surprise flashed on Ye Fan's face, "Xiao Li, why did you come down?"
Shen Li walked to the corner of the living room, pulled up her suitcase, "Brother Ye, before coming, I already booked a hotel; now it's time to go to the hotel."
Ye Fan frowned, "Sure you want to stay in a hotel?"
"Mm!"
Shen Li responded inaudibly low.
Ye Fan, who understood Shen Li, knew however, the more this girl was like this, the more it proved her determination.
"Alright then."
Although Ye Fan felt helpless, he could only accept this fact. Smiled apologetically at Ning Xiangtian, "Uncle, then I won't accompany you to chat anymore, I'll take Xiao Li to the hotel."
"Come back early."
Ning Xiangtian didn't glance at Shen Li from beginning to end, his attitude quite aloof.
Ye Fan nodded, didn't speak further, walked to Shen Li's front and took her suitcase, "Let's go, I'll take you."
Shen Li froze blankly, "Brother Ye, aren't you staying at the hotel with me?"
In her prediction, Ye Fan should have gone to the hotel with her. But looking at the current situation, Ye Fan seemed to have no such intention.
Ye Fan shook his head, "I don't like staying in hotels."
Hearing these words, a look of loneliness appeared in Shen Li's eyes. As if in a pique, she snatched the suitcase and walked outwards.
Regarding the twists and turns, Ye Fan couldn't be clearer in his heart. But he had no way either, could only sigh helplessly, quickened his steps to follow.
After the two left, a faint smile appeared on Ning Xiangtian's face. He muttered to himself: "Little girl, with just this much skill , still wants to compete with my daughter, too naive!"
...
After arranging Shen Li's accommodation, Ye Fan directly returned to the Ning family. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw the family of three sitting on the sofa chatting.
Seeing Ye Fan, Lan Xi asked with considerable concern, "Xiao Fan, is Shen Li settled?"
"Sister Lan, rest assured, already settled."
Ye Fan walked to Ning Xi's side and sat down, said apologetically: "Uncle, Sister Lan; really sorry, Xiao Li's personality is just like this, I couldn't persuade her either, can only let her have her way."
Lan Xi waved her hand, said nonchalantly: "It's fine, girls are all like this."
Just then, Ning Xi blinked her eyes innocently, said weakly: "Mom, I'm very obedient, never willful."
These words made the three burst into hearty laughter.
Lan Xi teased, "Xiao Xi, I remember a few days ago when going to Linhai…"
"You remember wrongly!"
Before her mother could finish speaking, Ning Xi interrupted with a completely red face, stammered: "I'm going upstairs to tidy my room."
Dropping this sentence, the girl stood up and ran upstairs, her retreating figure showing utter panic.
Noticing the look of curiosity in Ye Fan's eyes, Lan Xi smiled sweetly, explained: "Xiao Fan, you might not know yet, a few days ago, no matter how your uncle and I tried to persuade, we couldn't stop Xiao Xi. She insisted on going to Linhai to find you. Since childhood, this is the first time I've seen her so persistent."
"Right, after this girl went, she didn't cause you any trouble, right?"
"No, I couldn't be happier."
A look of tenderness flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. He smiled thoughtfully towards the direction of the staircase.
